For doner search you need to use the label on the drive itself, not the one from the enclosure.

Thank you for the reply.

Just taken my drive out of the enclosure and the details differ from the label on the box.

Ultimately I am looking for a drive online and have found one on eBay (as written is op), which is unopened.Is there anyway I would be able to identify whether the donor drive is suitable without purchasing it and opening it up?

You should be able to find one online very easy.What is your goal? Is it your drive, do you need data, what tools and experience do you have?

The drive is mine and failed about 6 years ago, I don't really need the data back but it would be nice to have it after all these years. A friend of mine works at a dr firm, so I would get him to repair the drive.

Just found another donor drive based on the HDD label, could you please inform me on whether this would be suitable.

One last question if you know the answer to it. The data on the drive is encrypted using TC, how would that work in relation to the recovery? I assume the drive would be repaired and then each sector copied to another a new drive and then the new drive could be mounted and decrypted by the user without any issues.
